>>Why are there no attacks on the Vatican?<< In 1981, Mehmet Ali Agka, a Turk, shot Pope John Paul II in the Vatican. He was hospitalized for three months. Al Qaeda has plotted at least twice to kill the Pope, 1995, 1999, during trips to the Philippines. Why no success? Well, the Pope does have Friends in High Places.;^) It is said that the Third Mystery of Fatima was that someone would try to kill Pope John Paul II but that Mary would prevent it.

A muslim did try to kill the pope a few years ago, so there goes that one! So, just because some terrorists aren't muslim, it doesn't mean all terrorists are muslim. No one is saying they are, but it is worthwhile to note that on the fringes of Islam their is a constant, and it is terror. BTW, read the press, their have been many problems in China with radical Islamic elements trying to subvert Chinese authority on the fringes there as well. Face it, all Muslims are not evil, but where there are Muslims in close proximity to others their is a problem universally. For this you can either blame everyone else, or blame the culprit. I choose the culprit, you choose to blame everyone else. That's what makes the world go around. Now, do we have those nuclear codes in a safe spot with easy access for those that need it!
